OP, you need p/n: BKR7-ES copper NGK plugs.

If your mixture is right and your engine is running efficient the plug will have an ash color to it. Not to white, not to dark either. Just google some pictures to help you read the plug.
That may be true, but I have never seen an electrode break and cause issues. I have always seen the ground strap break off. It isn't made of copper or iridium.
